Entire Makofsky Law Group Named as Super Lawyers of 2022!

For the first time in the history of the Makofsky Law Group, every single firm attorney has been named to the 2022 New York Super Lawyers list in the same year. Super Lawyers, part of Thomson Reuters, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Each year, no more than 5% of lawyers in the state are selected to receive this honor. Even more impressive – three of the four Makofsky Law Group attorneys – partner Lisa Valente, and associates Christina Lamm and Deidre Baker – were named to the Rising Stars list – an honor that no more than 2.5% of lawyers in the state receive. Founding partner Ellen Makofsky was named to the Top 50 Women Super Lawyers list, an extremely exclusive group. In addition, this is also the 14th year in a row that Makofsky was named a Super Lawyer in the Elder Law Category.

Super Lawyers makes its selection using a multiphase patented process which begins with a nomination by the attorney’s peers, followed by an independent evaluation of a dozen indicators of professional achievement. The final selection is made by a panel of top attorneys from the same field who evaluate candidates in their primary practice area. It is a particular honor to be selected as a Super Lawyer because the determination is made by experts in the same field.

“Being named a Top 50 Woman Super Lawyer is especially meaningful to me because my fellow Elder Law colleagues are the ones who have placed me at the top of a very select group,” said Makofsky. “I am particularly proud that Lisa, Christina, Deidre, and I were all chosen in the same year. It demonstrates the dedication of our entire firm to stay at the top of our field in order to best assist our clients.”
